Arguments

pkg

Package name. This is unlike most devtools packages which
take a path because you might want to determine dependencies for a package
that you don't have installed. If omitted, defaults to the name of the
current package.

dependencies

A character vector listing the types of dependencies
to follow.

recursive

If TRUE look for full set of recursive dependencies.

ignore

A character vector of package names to ignore. These packages
will not appear in returned vector. This is used in
revdep_check() to avoid packages with installation problems
or extremely long check times.

bioconductor

If TRUE also look for dependencies amongst
Bioconductor packages.

Details

The first run in a session will be time-consuming because it must download
all package metadata from CRAN and Bioconductor. Subsequent runs will
be faster.
